Study Description: This study will obtain pilot data for noninvasive positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of CD8 plus T lymphocytes in two inflammatory central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating diseases, multiple sclerosis (MS) and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), and other neuroinflammatory diseases by characterizing CNS uptake of anti-CD8 plus T cell antibody fragment (aka minibody ) (89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab), an investigational, intravenous PET tracer. Objectives: Primary Objective: To detect and localize infiltration of CD8 plus T cells in the CNS of adults with MS and PML via PET-CT (computed tomography) scans using a minibody with high affinity for CD8 plus T cells. Secondary Objectives: (1) To characterize safety and tolerability of 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab in the participant population. (2) For the PML cohort with longitudinal evaluation, to determine the effects of immune reconstitution, either spontaneous or facilitated, on 89Zr-Dfcrefmirlimab uptake. (3) To determine whether 89Zr-Df-crefmirlimab uptake profile is disease specific for MS and PML. Endpoints: Primary Endpoints: Standardized uptake values (SUV) in different tissue types (lesions, white matter, gray matter, meninges, choroid plexus, as determined from coregistered MRI) in each cohort (MS or PML) by region-of-interest (ROI) analysis. Secondary Endpoints: (1) Frequency and nature of adverse events; (2) For the PML cohort with longitudinal evaluation, changes in SUV over time. (3) Compare patterns of uptake distribution across PML, MS, and other neuroinflammatory diseases with BBB leakage.
